This study aimed to inform efforts to enhance climate change resilience in a health context by: (1) examining if and how adaptation to climate change is taking place within health systems in the Peruvian Amazon, (2) understanding how Indigenous communities and leaders’ responses to climatic hazards are being articulated within the official health system and (3) to provide recommendations to increase the climate change resilience of Amazon health systems.
Heat related mortality would have been 80% higher in absence of the adaptation observed during the present century
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and NHS England have been commissioned by Defra to jointly provide the government with a Fourth Health and Climate Adaptation Report.
The health system plays a critical role in safeguarding the well-being of communities in the face of health risks associated with climate change. This review maps evidence on health systems' adaptation to climate risk and barriers to effective adaptation.
